How does this work with wet food?

It doesn't. It's for dry food only. I use different dishes for the wet food.

Hi, I don't think that this would work for wet food. But there are dishes available that have nubs on the bottom that also make the cat work for their food. If you use a wet food that is minced rather than pate the bowl with the nubs on the bottom might work, it would just be messy because they have to use their paws. There is also an bowl that has a mound in the middle that would make it harder for the cat to eat quickly. Search under Amazon for 'slow feeding bowls'.

Not good for wet food as this is a one piece unit - works very well for dry food

No water needed. Just plug it in and turn it on to warm. You just need to place your food HOT from stove because it keeps it warm. It won't heat cold food.

I have a York ie that eats and drinks too fast and then throw a up. We are using the feeding bowl and water bowl- works like a charm. I do t have a cat, howecer, the bowl is shallow so I would think it would work. Not sure how it would work with canned food....designed to use with dry kibble.

If you are processing dry food for example nuts...I believe it sucks harder.... somehow when you process wet foods on the moist setting it keeps the moisture from getting to the edge and out and into the catch tray. by the way..be sure to check the catch tray and keep it cleaned.

I lightly wet the dry cat food so that it sticks to the food. Hope this helps!

It would work. It is all ground up, ready to mix with water (can use water from cooking veggies). It absorbs water and reconstitutes into soft food.

I have found that shake and water afterwards works best. It makes the feed trickle into the dirt :)

Thank you all for your responses. So far I've tried chicken and meat. I did try to push to the food to the bottom and remove any air voids but it doesn't seem to be as powerful as I expected.

It has a wet setting, and I used it on some very drippy salmon filets. I had to stop every few filets to empty the tray, but the machine performed perfectly, sealing every bag without failure.

We crush up the pellets into the bowl and pour hot water over. Hard to tell an exact ratio; we wait a bit until the water absorbs; if it's too dry we add more water; we also put some wet food from a packet in the bowl initially so again an exact ratio is difficult to judge. It does absorb a lot of water after a few minutes and gets fairly dry if they don't eat it all in 8 hours. Does this help?

I would not use it for wet food. You could, functionally, but I wouldn't risk the health of my cat.

I put it in wet dog food. It started off like it was going to work, but now isn't helping at all. Does this sometimes happen? I'm not sure I want to continue with it after this bottle is gone if it is not working.

The instructions say mix with food. That's what I do. I would ask the company, if u want to put in the water. It will prably taste very funny.

I have only put it on wet food, but if your cat likes fishy tastes, it might work on dry. I mix a scoop in with the wet about 3 days a week, and my 2 cats seem to like it. I originally started using it because one of my cats is part Persian and sometimes has reddish goopy eyes common in Persians. The Viralys totally prevents it.

I don't know what you mean by a "wet" bag. I can tell you I have sealed damp, unfrozen fish, poultry, ground beef, steak and pork. The juices do flow into the seal after the air is removed from the bag, but you have a higher heat level on the sealer control to over come this.

I think you have gotten it wet. Mine does the same thing when it gets wet. The food goes to the very back with one piece in the middle to lure the critter in

Sometimes you want to pressure steam. Some vegetables, potatoes, or something like clams, mussels or lobster. Keeps the food out of the water.
